Better Living Through Better Class-Based SystemVerilog Debug

Debugging large testbenches has changed recently. The testbenches are larger than they used to be, and they are more like software than they used to be. In addition, the testbench language features use object-oriented constructs, and may use a new library of verification components. Each of these characteristics adds to the pain of debugging the testbench, which must be done before debugging of the actual device- under-test can begin.
